Now these are initial numbers, but they are still big. While the $63 million guaranteed money may be calculated in so many different ways, this is still a mega deal. If anything, it shows that Malik Jackson's deal wasn't enough to slow the defensive tackle's value appreciation that began with Ndamukong Suh.

All this means a big payday for Carolina Panthers defensive tackle, Kawann Short, who is entering the final year of his rookie. Short is coming off a monster year himself, which puts him in the conversation with all of these guys. Kawann won't get short-changed in the end, but these numbers raise more questions if it will be with Carolina. BBR's Bill Voth questioned immediately if a mortgage payment like this would even be a consideration for Panther GM, Dave Gettleman.

could end up being wrong, but don’t think DG will be willing to move into this neighborhood. https://t.co/qf0aYUFiq8
